You are able to press buttons (and therefore run commands) on computer that has been locked #282

My environment:
PopOs 22.04
Installed 2022-12-11, followed this guide here after that.
Works fine.
I use a regular Elgato Stream Deck (v1).

A couple of the buttons have been configured to run a bash-script which in turn runs xrandr-commands to toggle monitors off and off (or outputs to be precise).

What I noticed is that even if my computer is locked, I can still press the buttons on the stream deck and therefore run xrandr-commands without unlocking the computer.
(The way I noticed it was that when I wake the computer from sleep, it seems to default to enable all connected monitors, but one of them is used for another thing at the time and I can't see the login prompt. I then press the "toggle monitor x"-button and it disables it and the login-prompt is shown on another screen.)

tl;dr:
You can still run commands with the stream deck on a locked linux computer with the streamdeck-ui-solution.

Offtopic:
Thanks for this app or whatever you may call it, works like a charm (too good if you consider the ticket here ;)), really appreciate the opportunity to use my stream deck in linux! <3
